> Why do tech companies flock to California (LA/SF)? I often hear people credit the great technical universities. But that can't be, because most of the actual workers at these companies didn't go to Bay Area or even California universities [1].

2 flaws here:

1. The majority of those h1b workers are at like tcs Wipro and Infosys, not conventional sv companies.

2. Being close to technical universities is good if it gives you a recruiting edge, even if only some of your employees come from that school.

Who do you think those companies contract out to?
